A MESSAGE FROM THE AADEP PRESIDENT
We are now counting the days to the 2009 AADEP 22nd Annual Scientific Session January 9-10 2009 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Palm Springs California. We have invited these worldwide experts to speak:
GORDON WADDELL – Positive Effects of Work and Principles of Vocational Rehab JOSE OCHOA – Controversial Issues including CRPS RICHARD DEYO/ - MICHELE BATTIE – Spine Pathogenesis, Treatment and Outcomes STAN BIGOS – Spine Guidelines
AADEP Executive Director Sandra Yost tells us the resort is more beautiful than ever. And what could be more pleasant than a few days in the lush desert playground of Palm Springs, California in January?
OTHER NEWS
AADEP Delegates to the AMA, David Randolph and Douglas Martin, begin their deliberations on a full agenda of issues at the AMA Annual Meeting, June 14-18, 2008. Both Doctors Randolph and Martin will participate in the various reference committees on those issues which affect the members of AADEP. You can read Doctor Randolph’s report on the website on July 1, 2008 to know what the American Medical Association offers each of you as a Member.
AADEP has now taught more than 200 physicians and attorneys and will offer Sixth Edition education in Philadelphia on June 7, Reno on September 6, and, of course, on January 8 in Indian Wells. You will find more sites for Guides education by AADEP faculty on the website as they are announced. If your area has a significant learning gap for the Guides, e-mail so our CME Committee can consider adding it to the AADEP CME Program.
If you have not learned the approaches, applications and processes yet and your state is one of the 35 using it, please call AADEP at 1/800-456-6095 to find the location of the educational offering nearest you.
Lastly, AADEP is seeking donations to enhance our resource library. If you have vintage copies of schedules of impairment or tables of disability from any jurisdiction you can donate, please inform us and we will get them from you for the library.
Edwin Klimek, MD, FAADEP—AADEP President
